Question

Electric charge is best defined as:

विकल्प

• The quantity of matter present in a body, which determines its weight

• An intrinsic property of certain fundamental particles that gives rise to electric and magnetic forces and causes them to experience a force when placed in an electromagnetic field

• The energy stored in a body due to its position in a force field

• The rate of flow of free electrons through a conductor per unit time

Answer 1

Electric charge is an intrinsic property of fundamental particles such as electrons and protons. It gives rise to electric and magnetic forces and causes particles to experience a force when placed in an electromagnetic field. It is not a measure of mass, current, or energy.
